CONTENT
------------------------------------------------------------------------

We on the mission field have an aware ness that we are on the verge of
some major breakthroughs for the kingdom in many of the countries in
which we are work ing. We hear statements such as: "Soon the whole
country of Nepal will have a Christian witness in every village!" "India
shall be saved!" "No matter what, one of these days Bhutan will be
saved!"

Those statements are not made casu ally. There is a depth to them
because God has impressed these things on our hearts. Because of that,
we feel the time given to us now should be filled with prayer and
serious commitment in seeking God for what He wants to do.

Miracles Happen

I will never forget some of the answers to prayer that God has given us.
One such incident happened in the early days of our radio listeners'
crusade in India. More than 25,000 people had gathered in the meeting
place to hear the message that evening. As we were driving toward the
meeting place, we saw dark clouds over the town. It was obvious that it
could rain at any moment. I thought the meeting was going to have to be
called off. But the brother traveling with me in the car said, "Well,
Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed and it didn't rain."

When we got to the meeting ground, we could hear the roar of rain in the
distance. Then it began to drizzle slightly. I was on the stage as the
meeting was just about to start and felt that I should tell the people
that Jesus would answer prayer tonight and hold off the rain.

You know, sometimes we pray with unbelief. I prayed that way that
evening. I wasn't so sure that the rain really would be held off. But
praise God there was prayer going up from other concerned people who did
believe.
